Skip to Comments By Kyle Becker The Biden presidency is a disaster. But it takes a former president to truly reveal just how much a disaster it really is. That is what Donald Trump did on Thursday with a breathtaking list of failures of the Biden presidency… so far. Here it is in full: In one year, Biden has caused a border crisis, an energy crisis, an inflation crisis, a labor crisis, a supply chain crisis, and a violent crime crisis—all while pushing the most radical left-wing agenda in history. THE MOST ANTI-WORKER, ANTI-FAMILY, ANTI-AMERICA PRESIDENT EVER: Joe Biden inherited the most secure border in history, the fastest economic recovery on record, historically low gas prices, hard-won American Energy Independence, a domestic manufacturing renaissance, and a nation poised to flourish like never before—all thanks to the America-First agenda of President Trump. It took less than 12 months for Biden and the extremists in his party to turn it all into crisis, chaos, misery...

Skip to Comments By J.B. Shurk "By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."  That's commonly attributed to Confucius, whose wisdom I'm  imitating .  An awful lot of what I know has come from the harsh lash of  experience , even when my own thoughts sufficiently counseled me to avoid the pitfalls lying directly ahead.   Reflection , I've found,  is  most gratifying, but some of us will insist on exploring the jagged roads of hostile  experience , if for no other reason than to satisfy stubborn curiosity. In the spirit of the approaching New Year, allow me to suggest some resolutions that might keep you situated toward the first two methods above for pursuing a good life and finding peace, while sparing you some of the trouble I've sometimes refused to avoid.

By Chris Palmer At least 65 shots were fired onto the street by two gunmen, police said. A 21-year-old woman was in critical condition, and five men were also struck. Six people were shot in Germantown late Thursday night when at least two gunmen fired more than 65 shots onto the street, according to police. The incident happened around 11:40 p.m. on the 5100 block of Germantown Ave. near Collom Street, police said. A 21-year-old woman was hospitalized in critical condition, while five men between the ages of 19 and 29 were also struck. The men were all reported in stable condition, police said. After the crime, investigators were searching for surveillance video as they sought to learn more about what happened and why. Chief Inspector Scott Small told reporters at the scene that the sheer number of shots fired made it difficult to discern an early motive. “The fact that we found over 65 spent shell casings, that’s a lot of shots,” Small said. “So it’s hard to even say who’s the inten...

Skip to Comments NEW YORK, NY—Ghislaine Maxwell has been convicted on 5 counts related to sex crimes committed against minors for over a decade. A few minutes after her conviction, she announced she has landed a brand-new job at CNN. "We called Maxwell as soon as the verdict was read," said CNN President Jeff Zucker. "Ghislaine has shown us she has exactly what it takes to work here. This has nothing to do with the fact that she's really good at committing sex crimes. We are hiring her for her... um, many other qualifications. Yeah. Qualifications."  Maxwell will replace Wolf Blitzer as an anchor on The Situation Room and will also be placed in charge of the hiring of all new female interns. "I am humbled to have been given this new opportunity at CNN," said Maxwell, "and I promise to do my best to find the very best girls—er, I mean, news. The very best news. Yeah. That's what I meant." Ghislaine Maxwell will broadcast the news fro...

By Monica Showalter Looks like the ignorant, malevolent little Katzenjammer Kidz of Twitter are back at it. This time they've banned a biggie, Dr. Robert W. Malone, the medical doyen whose research on the mRNA vaccine has been critical to the development of the vaccines for COVID. He's the guy who probably knows more about these vaccines than anyone else. His banning offense? Warning about the risks and limits of the mRNA vaccines, based on his  bona fide  scientific research, which included studies of young athletes who dropped dead of heart failure after taking them, and a suggestion that the vaccines not be given to kids. According to the  Daily Caller : Malone contributed to the development of mRNA vaccine technology, performing an experiment as a graduate student at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in which he blended strands of mRNA with fat droplets which, when applied to human cells, caused the cells to start p...
